Catalina State Park, Tucson, AZ
Catalina State Park is located north of Tucson in the Oro Valley. This park is very popular in teh winter, especially January – March. It fills fast, but the staff are very accomodting and work with you to get you in. We had to spend one night without hokups, but were moved into a W/E site early the next morning. My daughter and son-in-law were joinging us later in teh day and we expected the park to be full, so the host put us in a large pull-thru that would hold 2 trailers. We had no problem getting bot TT in the space, had to part one tow vehicle by the showers, but it all worked out fine.
Catalina State Park sits at the base of the majestic Santa Catalina Mountains. The park is a haven for desert plants and wildlife and nearly 5,000 saguaros. The 5,500 acres of foothills, canyons and streams invites camping, picnicking and bird watching
